The Yorktown class carrier USS Hornet, later sunk at the Battle of the Santa Cruz Islands.
The USS Enterprise (CV-6) and USS Hornet (CV-8) both participated in the Doolittle Raid and the Battle of Midway. Hornet carried and launched the 16 B-25's of the Doolittle Raiders while Enterprise provided the air cover for the task force. At the Battle of Midway, the two carriers comprised Task Force 16 while Yorktown was the only carrier in Task Force 17.
The Japanese were seeking to invade and occupy Midway to protect their homeland from an attack such as that of the Doolittle Raid of April 1942. Instead, in the Battle of Midway, the Japanese lost four aircraft carriers -- the Soryu, the Kaga, Akagi and Hiryu -- while sinking one US carrier, the Yorktown. With this battle the Japanese were so weakened that they spent the rest of the war on defense.
USS Hornet (CV-8), launched the Doolittle Raid in 1942, fought at the Battle of Midway, and was sunk at the Battle of the Santa Cruz Islands on 26 October 1942.

first answer: The US carriers at Midway were the Lexington, Hornet, and Yorktown. More correct answer: CV-5 Yorktown CV-6 Enterprise CV-8 Hornet The CV-2 Lexington "Lady Lex" had been sunk at the Battle of Coral Sea the previous month, otherwise it would have participated. The CV-5 Yorktown was damaged in the Battle of Coral Sea and almost missed the Battle of Midway. It was sunk in this battle. The CV-6 Enterprise, "Big E" survived this battle and the war. The CV-8 Hornet which had earlier launched the B-25 Doolittle Raid on Japan, survived this battle, but was sunk later in the year.
